Yes, GrannyLaine that’s what I may try and do.

Kitty I use this recipe...
225 g plain flour
50 g ground almonds
Tiny bit ( pinch) of salt
70 g caster sugar
1 egg yolk

It makes a delicious pastry ( got the recipe from a W.I friend a few years ago) but so hard to get them all out in one piece when making mince pies.

Maybe need to reduce the proportion of ground almonds to flour? I assume you're using some flour?

Too dry? Not that my pastry making is anything to write home about.

I use ground almonds in pastry making ( sometimes) and particularly for making mince pies, it makes them very crumbly and delicious but they often collapse or partially collapse taking them out of the tin ( greased) has anyone got any tips?
